Chinese Zookeeper Saves Choking Panda Bear With The Heimlich Maneuver
A quick thinking zookeeper in China saved a panda’s life on Saturday.
The panda was choking on a carrot when the zookeeper rushed to the nearly 500 lb. animal and gave it the HEIMLICH MANEUVER.
The Heimlich maneuver saves animals, too! A breeder rescued a giant panda using the Heimlich maneuver when a carrot became lodged in its throat in Chengdu, SW China's Sichuan. pic.twitter.com/gb8oThaFpr

You can see in the video the man runs over and begins slapping the bear on the back, before attempting to pick up the super heavy animal and administer the Heimlich Maneuver and swinging the bear around until the carrot becomes dislodged.
